lyrics

You’re ushered in the doors,
The silhouettes surround you.
Words lost in noise
From a voice you never knew.

Your mission is simple;
You carry it out
With passion and precision,
But you have your doubts.

You expect to find
A face at every turn.
They’re coming out in force.
When will you learn.

Target acquired,
I’ve got my sights on.
A façade of gladness
In a polished social mold.

But before I can speak,
the words catch in my throat.
The pretense is over,
I see the colors of your coat.

You expect to find
A face at every turn.
They’re coming out in force.
When will you learn.

And then the lights come on and we shuffle toward the door.
This has gone on far too long, and its time for you to go home.
Why do I let myself believe these silly lies?
Expectation lets you down if you can’t get past those eyes.
